If you bring an infested snake into the house, or if you handle an infested snake and then your own, it's possible. If your snake becomes infested, you'll see the mites. They'll look like tiny specks of moving black pepper, and their feces look like even tinier specks of white pepper. They like to lodge themselves around a snake's eyes, so the skin around the eye would look swollen and irregular. You'd also likely see them lodged between scales, and under the long edges of the belly scutes. You'd probably also see drowned mites in the water bowl, as the snake would probably bathe in an attempt to relieve itself of the parasites.
